Ipswich Town will welcome Derby County to Portman Road Stadium on matchday four in the Championship. Ipswich are in 18th place in the league standings, and Derby are in 20th place. Here's our match prediction.
Ipswich Town have yet to see the tide turn in their favor in the 2025-26 season. After being eliminated in the first round of the EFL Cup against Bromley, they are still searching for their first league win in the Championship.
Having dominated the Championship in the 2023-24 season en route to promotion to the English Premier League, the fans would've expected a similar display, but that intensity has since relented.
The Tractor Boys have gone three league games without a win. Their most recent match resulted in a shock 1-0 away defeat to Preston North End.
Derby County managed to register their first competitive win in the 2025-26 season, defeating West Brom 3-2 on penalties in the first round of the EFL Cup.
That result earned them their spot in the second round, with their opponents being Premier League side Burnley. Unfortunately, they recently got eliminated after a 2-1 away defeat on Tuesday.
In terms of the situation in the Championship, the Rams are one of seven teams searching for their first league win. A 1-1 home draw against Bristol City managed to halt a two-match losing streak.
